Loved it!!!
My wife and I had a hreat time at this clean property. It is clear that John and Amy take great pride in this house, and ensuring that yheir guests enjoy their stay. We had everything we needed and the location is great-Downtown/Groceries are a walkable distance (if you're okay with the way back being uphill), and there is a nice hiking trail down the street. We will definitely endeavor to stay here again.

Nice and Roomy
While the guest bedrooms run small the primary bedroom and living room offered plenty of room for my husband and I with our five 6”4-6”8 adult sons and our dog Duke (who also enjoyed the gated yard). I was a bit misled by the listing of a hot tub, which was the jacuzzi bath tub, which was too small for any of us, but other than that a really nice place and nice stay.

Just what we needed
The property was clean and cozy, perfect for our party of 3, plus 2 small dogs. The owners were wonderful and great with communication! No complaints-- it was a simple check in process for an extremely relaxing weekend. I look forward to my next Twain Hart getaway.

Comfortable Cabin for Families
John and Amy's cabin was a beautiful, clean and wonderful location for my friends and family to stay during our ski vacation at Dodge Ridge to celebrate my son's 6th birthday. Although we were advised to potentially bring extra napkins, detergent, and paper towels, the house ended up being very well stocked with all of these items and much more! I appreciated that John and Amy permitted prior guests to leave non-perishable and unexpired items in the cabin in case my party forgot anything (e.g., salt, pepper, oil, jam, saran wrap, sandwich baggies). Also, the kitchen was stocked well with various pots, pans, ceramic and non-breakable dishes for the kids too. There were only 2 issues that we faced during our trip: (1) The house is a the end of a cul-duc sac on a very step hill so my family and my friends experienced some issues pulling into the driveway without scratching our cars' undercarriage or tail pipe. But I called John to discuss and he promptly asked a neighbor to help and pointed us to alternative nearby locations we could park. (2) We stayed during the winter so heat was a must! The house has a central heating system that warms the upstairs very well, but the downstairs bedrooms don't seem to get as much heat so there is a drastic temperature difference between the upstairs and lower levels. All in all, we would not hesitate to stay and John and Amy's cabin again. My son is already asking when he can go back. :) Thank you John and Amy for letting us stay at your beautiful cabin and for your hospitality.

Twain Harte Adventure
We were lucky enough to rent this property last minute for New Year’s weekend. My family of four were there for five nights. It was in a great location - very close to the snow and snow parks for the kids. The Twain Harte Market and Pizza Factory are right down the street. Other restaurants aren’t too far away and it’s about 15 minutes from Sonora, which has a movie theater that came in handy due to heavy rain. It rained most of the time we were there so didn’t get to hike but it is located next to a trailhead. The one sunny day we had, we went to Yosemite. One note to guests: Google maps sends you down what turns into a single lane old Ferry road we later discovered is affectionately known as Murderer’s Gulch, a well-earned moniker particularly after the atmospheric river event the night before. I’d recommend backtracking down 108 and taking Highways, but we survived and have some great stories - like cutting branches from a downed tree to continue onward. The house itself is nicely appointed and laid out. The hosts were communicative and accommodating; a pleasure to deal with. We spent one day completely inside but never felt cramped. It just so happened to be the day of the College Football Playoff semifinals, imagine that. A friendly neighbor let me know that the rain was turning to snow on our last morning there and we were hoping to extend but it’s easy to see why this property is popular, but we’ll be back!
